RT Journal Article T1 Selective C−H Bond Functionalization of Unprotected Indoles by Donor-Acceptor Carbene Insertion A1 Pizarro Javier, Juan Diego A1 Morán González, Lucía A1 González Fernández, Iván A1 Maseras, Feliu A1 Romero Fructos-Vázquez, Manuel A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB Copper catalysts containing alkoxydiaminophosphine (ADAP) ligand catalyze the selective C3- Hfunctionalization of unprotected indoles upon carbene transfer from donor-acceptor diazo compounds, the N-H bond remaining unaltered during the transformation. Mechanistic studies, including DFT calculations, allows proposing the existence of two competitive pathways, none of them occurring through the formation of cyclopropane intermediates, at variance with previously reported systems.
